BACKGROUND: There are currently no prostate cancer screening guidelines
specific to the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population. With this in
mind, we evaluated the clinical usefulness of digital rectal
examination (DRE), serum total prostate-specific antigen (PSA),
prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) and transrectal ultrasound
(TRUS) in predicting prostate cancer in men with ESRD.
